TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND

TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND is a Japanese electropop group based in Tokyo, built around Tomohisa Ishikawa and Youhei Matsui. The project began on April 1, 1994 as TECHNOBOYS and was reorganized as TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND in September 2005. It released the first album "music laundering" in 2006, followed by "good night citizen" in 2014, the anime-song collection "MUSIC FOR ANIMATIONS" in 2019, and the third album "VISIBLE INVISIBLE" in 2020. Its music emphasizes precise programming, atmosphere, texture, and minimalist momentum, drawing on influences such as Kraftwerk, YMO, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, and Steve Reich. In anime and related media, the group worked on the soundtrack for the animated film EX MACHINA, a project associated with techno and electronica artists, and Tomohisa Ishikawa also provided background music for the animated film SHORT PEACE. In 2014 it handled the background music for the TV anime Witch Craft Works and created its ending theme, then went on to score Trinity Seven later the same year. The 2015 single "Uchiyoserareta Boukyaku no Zankyou ni (打ち寄せられた忘却の残響に)", featuring 大竹佑季, became the group's Lantis major debut and served as the ending theme of "Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru", whose soundtrack it also composed. It also performed "WHIMSICAL WAYWARD WISH" for "Fate/Zero" and "ISBN ~Inner Sound & Book's Narrative~" for "Skull-Faced Bookseller Honda-san", while Youhei Matsui has written lyrics for artists such as Minori Chihara and Sphere.
